The Home Office has today confirmed the officer recruitment targets for every police force in England and Wales for the first year of the unprecedented drive to increase their ranks by 20,000 over the next three years.

As Boris Johnson has rightly said, we are coming out of the EU on October 31, come what may. MPs promised to respect the result of the referendum. More people voted to leave than have ever voted for any political party in any general election. Parliament has voted to trigger Article 50.

When Boris Johnson entered Number 10, one of his first acts was to get more money to our education system. That’s why we’re investing £14 billion in schools, including £5,000 for every secondary school pupil by next year and £4,000 for every primary school pupil by 2021-22.

A big thanks to everyone who visited our stand at Leek & District Show. We were delighted to be joined by Karen Bradley MP. The rain didn't stop everyone having a good time and we had a very positive response to our local plans, and the future of the party under the new Prime Minister.

Last weekend we visited Manifold Valley Show where we got to meet lots of party members from the Moorlands and surrounding associations. Thanks to our team who came to help and our councillors who visited throughout the day.
